I like my neon lights. I'm more visible at night, which ain't a bad thing. Chicks dig them. I would do it again.

I think they look good if done right. Blue & Red are not legal while rolling but if on while parked it's ok. I haven't done it to my bike but a couple of guys I ride with both have blue. It looks good to me.

Now, you'd have to admit a red glow under this bike at night would be cool, yes? Ah, come on!

I'm thinking about nightime visibility. Anything to add to that is good for me. I don't care about showing off...I just want to be seen when I ride at night. For $129, I may go for that.

This is why i was thinking the $20 sets would be fine for me .. couple sets under the tank, MAYBE a couple on the ground, and a switch. I guess id just need to worry about it being fully weather proof tho
For ground effects I have two 18" LED strands attached to the bottom rails of the frame. Joe Florida's LED kits are weather resistant and come with a "life time" warranty.

I have logged over 1M miles On 28 different motorcycles. I have LEDs on my CVO. Please tell me when I've become a rider in your eyes.

BTW how many miles have you logged on your bike last year?

Better go with pink. You wanna stay away from the leaking tampon thing.
